An airplane flies directly west at 1,000 kilometers per hour. Without changing directions, the plane returns to its starting point in just one hour. What can you infer about the planes route with regard to lines of latitude and longitude? Explain please.
Answered by Ms. Sue
The plane is near one of the Poles.

Answered by Ms. Sue
Study a globe. Where can a plane travel only west for an hour and arrive back at its starting place?
